Objective:
To examine differences in depressive and anxiety symptoms between boarding and non boarding high school students and their associations with physical activity (PA) patterns, so as to provide evidence to inform adolescent mental health promotion.
Methods:
From October to December 2024, a convenience sample of 11 782 students aged 15-18 years was recruited from 36 schools in Nanchang, Ganzhou, and Shangrao of Jiangxi Province. Depressive and anxiety symptoms and PA were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and International Physical Activity Questionary Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Logistic regression model was used to examine associations between PA patterns, depressive and anxiety symptoms among boarding and non boarding students.
Results:
The detection rates of depressive symptoms were 45.7% and 46.4% among boarding and non boarding students, respectively; for anxiety symptoms, the corresponding rates were 43.0% and 46.7%. Boarding and non boarding students differed significantly in smoking status, screen time, sleep duration, sedentary time, daily vegetable intake, and napping ( χ 2=16.74-664.17, all P <0.01). Across PA pattern groups, the detection rates of depressive and anxiety symptoms differed significantly between boarding and non boarding students ( χ 2 depression = 23.85 , χ 2 anxiety = 22.78, both P <0.01). Adjusted for confounding factors, Logistic regression analysis of high school students showed that compared with the not meeting PA recommendations, both the concentrated and regular PA pattern were associated with lower odds of depressive symptoms [ OR (95% CI )=0.83(0.70-0.98), 0.90(0.83-0.98)]; and the concentrated pattern was also associated with lower odds of anxiety symptoms [ OR (95% CI )=0.78(0.65-0.92)], and the association of anxiety symptoms in concentrated boarding students was consistent with that of the overall group [ OR (95% CI )=0.71(0.52-0.98)] (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
There is a correlation of different physical activity patterns with depressive and anxiety symptoms among boarding and non boarding high school students. Schools should ensure students engage in regular physical activity and work to increase overall activity volume.

Objective To investigate the effect of baicalin(BA)regulating cyclic adenosine phosphate(cAMP)/protein kinase A(PKA)/cAMP response elemen-binding protein(CREB)pathway on skin barrier function in eczema rats.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into the control group(NC group),the model group,the low-dose BA group(BA-L group,25 mg/kg),the medium-dose BA group(BA-M group,50 mg/kg),the high-dose BA group(BA-H group,100 mg/kg),the prednisone group(PNS group,25 mg/kg),the BA-H+cAMP inhibitor(SQ22536)group(100 mg/kg+2.13 mg/kg)and the BA-H+PKA inhibitor(H-89)group(100 mg/kg+5 mg/kg),12 animals in each group.Except for the NC group,eczema rat model was constructed in the other groups.Two days after successful modeling,drug administration was performed in groups.Changes of eczema area and severity index(EASI)score,transcutaneous water loss(TEWL)and cuticle water content(WCSC)were detected.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect levels of immunoglobulin E(IgE),interferon-γ(IFN-γ)and interleukin-4(IL-4)in rat serum and the expression of cAMP protein in rat back lesions.HE staining was used to detect pathological changes of skin lesions on the back of rats.Western blot assay was used to detect aquaporin 3(AQP3),cathelicidin related antimicrobial peptide(CRAMP),p-PKA,p-CREB protein expression in rat back lesions.Results Compared with the NC group,rats had serious pathological lesions on the back of the tested area,increased EASI score,TEWL,IgE and IL-4 levels,and decreased WCSC,IFN-γ,AQP3,CRAMP,cAMP,p-PKA and p-CREB protein levels in the model group(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,pathological lesion of the tested area in the back of rats was relieved,and EASI score,TEWL,IgE and IL-4 levels were decreased,WCSC,IFN-γ levels,AQP3,CRAMP,cAMP,p-PKA and p-CREB protein were increased in the BA-L group,the BA-M group,the BA-H group and the PNS group(P<0.05).Changes of above indexes in the BA-L group,the BA-M group,the BA-H group were dose-dependent.SQ22536 or H-89 attenuated the improvement effect of high dose BA on skin barrier function in eczema rats.Conclusion BA may improve skin barrier function in eczema rats by activating cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway.
10.Research progress on the correlation between weight loss and ghrelin, leptin and hypoxic environment in patients with Parkinson's disease
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2024;43(2):246-250
Weight loss is a prevalent non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease(PD), often appearing several years before motor symptoms and continuing throughout the course of the disease.The cause of weight loss in PD may be linked to an imbalance in energy and neuroendocrine function.Ghrelin and leptin are thought to be significant factors in the weight loss experienced by those with PD.Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome may independently increase the risk of PD and significantly impact the cognitive and motor functions, as well as other non-motor symptoms, of PD patients.Research has shown that a hypoxic environment can enhance the expression and aggregation of the pathogenic protein α-synuclein.This suggests that hypoxic stress and intermittent hypoxia may be contributing factors to the development of PD.This article examines the correlation between weight loss in patients with Parkinson's disease and the hormones ghrelin and leptin, as well as the impact of a hypoxic environment on these hormones.
